| Additional information |
Cook Islands has issued novelty dollar pieces in extraordinary volume since the 1970s, most bearing no relationship to actual circulation currency. This piece belongs to a long-running series of silver-plated copper-nickel issues marketed directly to collectors, produced by foreign mints under license and never intended to reach the Pacific.
Myšpulín is a character from Czech and Slovak children's television — a stop-motion mouse first broadcast in the 1980s. The Cook Islands attribution is purely jurisdictional paperwork.
